New England B.S. Thread

MA wants to move to Atlantic time and suggests that all of New England does. The logic is we're further east than the rest of the US so rolling clocks back in the fall makes our days end shorter than everywhere else.

I would have no problem with it. Last week I left home in the dark but at least had some daylight when I left work.

This week I still leave home in the dark but by the time I'm about halfway home it's about dark enough to put headlights on.

 

X2. Mine does the same thing on long rides

 

I am so in support of this. Last few years it seems like I have seen more and more articles around this time saying MA is getting closer, but nothing concrete. I hope it happens.

 

Good morning ,

I’d be behind the time change too. Be nice to have that extra daylight at the end of the day. Makes me think of the peak of spring/summer, even on daylight savings, it’s already light around 5:15,5:30. Wouldn’t be dark till 9:30 then.

 

Yeah, I also did a rinseless wash on my Mustang Thursday & Friday night; just a quick clean and new layer of wax before she's covered up for the winter.

 

Yeah I’m up for it too but ma said they won’t do it unless all of New England do it and pretty sure Vermont is a no currently

 

Daylight savings time is awesome! It means closer to this



What the hell happened to the website, I can't direct paste a .gif anymore?

I am much dissapoint

 

Good morning everyone. Happy Monday. Hope you all had a better weekend than I did. Sick as a dog. Lovely way to spend time away from work.

Took today off to hang out with my bro in law before he goes back to WV tomorrow.

 

Do not like. If you are going to be sick, might as well be in the office

 

Pic's of said Mustang?


Anyone with kids would be opposed to the change. No one wants their kids walking or waiting for the bus to bring them to school in the dark. I know I am opposed to it!

 

I definitely didn't pack warm enough for the cold weather here in Oregon... Fuck

 

Morning all.
Finally called it quits and winterized the boat yesterday, tarped her, and put her down in the lower lot for the winter.

Also slapped a fresh coat of paint on the plow. It was looking pretty hard done by after a few seasons of pushing calcium chloride-riddled snowbanks around. John Deere Yellow isn't an exact match for Fisher Yellow, but it's close enough for me.
Before:

After:

Got a picture from my relatives in Seattle; it was snowing at their kid's soccer game yesterday.

 

These are the pictures that I had on my drive of her. '96 V6 Vert 5MT, ~87-88k; got it '10 from my grandfather with 45k; paint job is the next major thing to get done.

 

We have a composit body boss plow on my dads tundra it makes maintenance so easy and we can run a heavier blade it was some coin but 12 years later it’s well paid for it’s self and then some.

 

This one was one the truck when I bought it. I haven't had to do hardly any maintenance to the plow in the 4 years I've been plowing with it (I had to weld a spring tab back on, but that was my fault) so I figure I can afford a $12 can of implement paint every few years.

Boss makes a nice plow. I'm not crazy about the Boss design, though, where the whole blade trips. Seems like you'd lose your snow load that way.

 

Yeah but it takes a lot to have that happen we plow 60 driveways a storm between that tundra and skid steer for the small driveways/parking lot management the tundra/plow have handled it great since 04.

 

Nice. I'd love a V plow, but for the $$....I'm happy with my old Speedcast, lol. Putting a V-plow on would cost roughly double what I spent on the truck, if I went with a new one. And even if I went used I'd have to upgrade the alternator (the current one only puts out 60 amps ) and add another battery to handle the extra electrical draw.

 

How things typically function at my job...

 

Damn you and your OT! I have a longer work day than you but no OT. I have some flexibility with my time, no one is making sure I punch a clock, but still sucks. Salary but I very rarely see a 40 hour work week.
